SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. —There is a lot of debate, and let’s face it, a lot of skepticism, about how good the Rockies could be this season.

But there’s no doubt this spring training has a bunch of intriguing storylines. From the derby to determine the five starters in the rotation, to the gray-haired veterans adding wisdom to the roster, to the remarkable comeback of Juan Nicasio, it’s going to be an interesting spring in the desert.

The Cactus League season begins this afternoon with the Rockies and Diamondbacks playing at Salt River Fields.
